Solution
The correct option is D non-linear function For a function to be linear, the slope should be constant for all values of x.
It is given that, the function has a constant slope from x = 0 to x = 5. But, the slope started decreasing from x = 6 onwards. So, the slope of the function remains not constant anymore.
